Using magnets, that's definitely a smart way of keeping the leather still!

[@VasileandPavel]

it's somehow comfortable and it is good for me, I never used a stitching pony

[@koriumlab]

@@VasileandPavel I don't have a stitching pony, but I've got plenty of metal pieces and fairly strong magnets 😉 I'll totally try this out the next time I have to stitch!

[@ahsanraco]

Very well done Sir. Love 💞 from Pakistan.

[@Awsometurtle20]

Thanks this was very helpful

[@VasileandPavel]

thank you for telling me. It's rewarding.

[@johnnyc.5979]

Nice and clean and fast. I guess my problem is that I use 1mm holes and 1mm thread. Not so easy. So I learned something.

[@VasileandPavel]

I also use the smallest needle I can put the thread in

Спасибо за идею, как шить, пока нет шорного пони.

[@sophiebuzora9616]

Beautiful! How can I do the same in the nose of the shoes?

[@SpirituallyRefined]

Thank you for this! You’ve got a sub from me. Question- what kind of leather did you use for the pocket? It’s pretty and I’ve not seen that type before.

[@VasileandPavel]

it is a heavy waxed leather called Ghost Leather or Fog Leather. Thank you foe watching my YT

[@SpirituallyRefined]

@@VasileandPavel thank you, does it weather like pull up leather or is there any transference of waxy residue?

[@VasileandPavel]

@@SpirituallyRefined yes, the wax will transform slowly in patina

[@benjamina.mcconnell7024]

What is your method of determining gusset length? I can’t seem to get it that precise.

[@VasileandPavel]

i make and sell patterns but if you'll make your own pattern, make the same distance between holes and count them

[@heatherh4975]

Any good tips for stitching the other side of the pocket? Getting my hands in and out and trying to hold the leather is a pain!

[@VasileandPavel]

bend the leather like in this tutorial, minute 5.30 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZmpk4aMl6mEr8k

[@OjaioFansub]

The last thing ypu did, do you know how is called that kind of joint? Or is just a pocket joint?

[@VasileandPavel]

it is a simple stitching, this time i stitched a pocket. Here is mi Instagram, you can see how many things you can stitch with this stitching instagram.com/vasileandpavel/?hl=ro

[@OjaioFansub]

@@VasileandPavel I do love the look of that joint, will check your Instagram Thx

[@mar8014]

What size and type of needle do you use in this video?

[@VasileandPavel]

I started to stitch with long needles, usually I use some needles named Milward. I buy packs of 6 needles and I use only 2 of them. You can use normal leather needles, John James. They are too short for me.

[@mar8014]

@@VasileandPavel Thank you. And how do you ensure the thread will fit through the needle, and that the needle will fit through the wholes you made with the hollow punch? Like is there a specific size of needle I should look for to ensure what I said above? Thanks!

[@VasileandPavel]

@@mar8014 i started leathercraft in 1988, I tried all the needles and all the waxed threads :). Try to find me on my FB page and send me a maeeage to ask me to make a picture with what needles I use
